Evening Read
Rachel B. Doyle dubs Thomas Jefferson “the Father of American Cryptography”:
As a youth in the Virginia colony, Jefferson encrypted letters to a confidante about the woman he loved. While serving as the third president of the newly formed United States, he tried to institute an impossibly difficult cipher for communications about the Louisiana Purchase. He even designed an intricate mechanical system for coding text that was more than a century ahead of its time.Cryptography was no parlor game for the idle classes, but a serious business for revolutionary-era statesmen who, like today’s politicians and spies, needed to conduct their business using secure messaging. Codes and ciphers involving rearranged letters, number substitutions, and other now-quaint methods were the WhatsApp, Signal, and PGP keys of the era.

New Series: ah, the places I have lived
Let's say I have a checkered past. I lived in 12 states when I was a musician. Those moves were destined by what bands I joined (or auditioned for.)
Here is a photo from my time in Vegas. Yup, that Las Vegas, Sin City. I did audition for a few rock bands. I had an agent David Sailon. I didn't join any rock bands, way back in 1983. But I had professional photos taken for my portfolio.
Here is one:
I still have that kimono somewhere in my stuff.
The reason I went was Marty. He phoned me when I was in Jackson Hole and convinced me to move to Vegas and Gypsy Ave. where he and others had a house with a pool. Emily and I got into lots of trouble, ur, fun, when I arrived. Let's just say we won at a craps table and some Mormon guy thought we were hookers.

I had a dentist appt. He said something. "There is evil. It's not about money. It's about power. Dividing people." That is something to think about. We all want a good life, clean drinking water, hot showers. Good food. Clean sheets (especially me, I'm obsessive about this). WE want the same things, don't we? Who would want to destroy this planet and for what? Why? Think about who they are. What will they gain from having a destroyed planet and no clean water? Where will they live - the evil ones?
